Anyone know how to do this? I'd like the screen to just fill up with bookmarks, with Google (my homepage) at the top. That giant earth icon is irritating.

Thanks, that required some digging around to work for me though. I didn't have any of the XML files that people were mentioning. Then I came across this CAB (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406681&highlight=globe) and installed it. It removed the Globe, but left an ugly non-descript Google bookmark in its place (better than the Globe though!). However, it also created the missing XML files in folder \ApplicationData\Manila. I then edited those (2) XML files (using Total Commander) and just deleted the entire <OperatorLinks>...</OperatorLinks> portion from both files. Problem solved! Yay!

Q: If TF3D uses those XML files to layout the Internet page, how did it function without them there originally? Weird.

The only thing i can think was that they may have been 'hidden'.
